Recertification

To renew your NSE 7 in Cloud Security certification, complete one of the following:

• If your NSE 7 in Cloud Security certification has expired, you must pass the NSE 4 exam and pass one of the proctored NSE 5 or NSE 6 exams in Cloud Security within 2 years.
• While your NSE 7 in Cloud Security certification, your NSE 4 FortiOS certification and either your NSE 5 Cloud Security or NSE 6 Cloud Security certification are still active, you can extend the expiration date by 2 years from the date you complete one of the following requirements:
  • Pass the next version of the NSE 7 exam in the Cloud Security track.
  • Complete the online NSE 7 recertification assessment if:
    • The certification assessment is available for the latest version
    • You passed the proctored exam for a previous version
    • The previous exam was taken within the last 2 years
  • Pass any NSE 8 practical exam.

Passing an NSE 7 Cloud Security exam recertifies your NSE 1, NSE 2, NSE 3, NSE 4, NSE 5 Cloud Security, and NSE 6 Cloud Security certifications if they are still active.

Important: Renewing an NSE 7 certification requires an active NSE 4 certification and either an NSE 5 Cloud Security or an NSE 6 Cloud Security certification. If any of the recertification actions above are completed while the prerequisites are incomplete, the NSE 7 certification is not issued until the prerequisites are met. In this scenario, all prerequisites must be completed within 2 years of the NSE 7 exam. The NSE 7 certification will be issued on the date all prerequisites are completed.
